Join us for our fall festivities at the Mill Ridge Park pumpkin patch! Costumes are welcome and encouraged, just keep them family-friendly (and not too scary)! We need your help with a variety of tasks that may include:
(Spookily) welcoming park visitors
Staffing the painting booth for both pick'n'paint your own pumpkin activities and our community mural
Dishing out festive snacks and beverages
Facilitating family-friendly lawn games
Post-event cleaning and teardown
Instructions and support for volunteers will be available onsite by park staff. Check in upon arrival at the welcome table for specific role information and any supplies that may be needed. To ensure your safety and comfort throughout the day, please wear comfortable shoes for grassy, uneven terrain. Prepare for light exposure to the sun and bugs (sunscreen and bug spray provided). Snacks, beverages, and portable toilet are available onsite. Feel free to bring your own water bottle to cut down on plastic waste!
Pumpkin Patch Parties take place behind the Farmhouse at Mill Ridge Park in Antioch, TN during the month of October. Volunteers are needed on October 14th, 21st, and 28th from 3:30PM-7PM and on October 30th between 12:30PM-4PM to support all of our frightfully festive happenings.
The event space will be marked with orange cones, yellow flags, and signage at the driveway entrance. Volunteers will park in the grass on the left along the gravel drive.
